I woke up feeling numb today. I am so sad with how the world is right now. Not only have we had to deal with a pandemic, but now we have to deal with racism and riots. I am trying to stay away from social media. I know everyone has opinions and I don’t wantContinue reading “In the middle of a pandemic…”

This is living with Metastatic Breast Cancer…
I wish life was simple and that living with Metastatic Breast Cancer was a straight and narrow path, but unfortunately it is a rollercoaster of emotional distress and medical jargon. Essentially, you don’t get a break, and when you think you are in the clear and that you can finally breath, something happens to spiralContinue reading “This is living with Metastatic Breast Cancer…”
Why Green??
I get asked all the time, why the color green? Why “Green Ninja”? Why the green hair? Well, here’s an answer for that….. Green hasn’t always been my favorite color. I used to love the color blue because of the ocean. I also loved Tigers and other spirit animals. I always liked turtles, but theyContinue reading “Why Green??”
Finding Your Tribe!
Last year I attended the 2018 YSC Summit (Young Survival Coalition) in Orlando, FL. I got in my car and drove by myself. Not sure of how I would feel or who I would find at this conference for Young Breast Cancer Survivors. There were women I was following on social media that I wasContinue reading “Finding Your Tribe!”

2 years and counting…..
Sorry for the late post. I started this blog last month, but the last two months have been nonstop. Some great things have happened and some not so good things. But I rather focus on the good things.

The trip of a lifetime….
Richard and I were finally able to go on our European Cruise. We spent 14 days in Europe and 11 days on the Celebrity Reflection. Orginally, we were supposed to take the cruise in September, but Hurricane Irma made sure that didn’t happen. We were dissappointed, but we dealt with it. I feel like itContinue reading “The trip of a lifetime….”

Bring it on 2018!!!
A lot of people have asked me why I dyed my hair green. I thought it would be obvious from my “Green Ninja” persona, but then I have to remember that not everyone knows my story. But honestly, I have wanted green hair since I was in high school. Unfortunately, my mom never let meContinue reading “Bring it on 2018!!!”
God has other plans….
On Tuesday, December 12th I was supposed to finally have my reconstructive surgery. I was excited. I was on the bed, all marked up and with an IV in my hand. I was ready to go when my nurse said we have to take a “PAUSE”. My blood-work came back and my white blood cells wereContinue reading “God has other plans….”
